The Onion would like to congratulate its owner, G/O Media, for standing firm in its return-to-office mandate, as we can think of nowhere more conducive to best-in-class thought leadership than a fluorescent-lit room populated with the abandoned desks of terminated colleagues.

Also I get why people don't think adults deserve candy but you know what it means when an old person shows up on your doorstep asking for hospitality on a sacred night, right? We all know that, right? This is a story that is almost universal in its provenance?
Because I have already had to defend "adults" trick or treating today.
Here it is for everyone.
NO ONE can reliably tell age. What you may think is a 20 year old might be a tall 11 year old who got hit hard by puberty and just wants to trick or treat with her cousins.
Give everyone candy!

A statewide awareness alert was sent last month to police in Maine to be on the lookout for the shooter who killed 18 people on Wednesday
But after he didn’t show up at his home or the base where he trained – police moved on: “We couldn’t locate him”

Let's talk about the Black Panther Party’s "Free Breakfast for School Children" program & how it changed America.
Started Sept 1968 in Oakland, CA at St. Augustine's Church, the aim of the program was to address the challenge of poor children in Black communities going to school hungry.

If bot spam ads and scams didn't work at all would they still be done? Of course not. So given that would you think they bring in more, or less, than a single dollar US a year? Twitter charging a dollar/year for new accounts to "fight spam" is them taking their cut of the scams, not stopping them.
